ReviewSaurus – Windows software download

Few days back, my buddy Rishi ran a Technorati Favorite Exchange program and got great response and that also made think of starting the same favorite exchange program. So, I decided that I’ll go for the same kind of traffic exchange program.

Why I would run something like this ?

1. Better visibility : Yes, this will certainly give me better visibility and the reason for that is that I’m exchanging the link love with the list of blogs, who are currently running this program and they’ll come to know that there is a blog which is ReviewSaurus.

2. Better Technorati Rank : If at all, any other blogger comes and loves the idea then they’ll share the link love with me and that will give me better technorati rank.

Why you should run something like this ?

I think that the above two reason are more than enough to answer your question.

What exactly needs to be done ?

There are some simple steps involved in this and you really don’t have to do something extra ordinary to be part of this exchange program. All you need is a blog and a technorati account and you have to follow these steps :

1. Add ReviewSaurus to your Technorati Favorites by clicking HERE.

2. Leave your Blog address and Technorati Username in the comments section.

3. If possible run this exchange on your blog as well and see the difference :)

My Technorati username is mayankgupta and I hope that I’ll be able to repeat the success which other had in running this program. Anyway, here is the list of blogs which ran this program successfully :

While I was going through my analytics software (Mint), I noticed that someone from Googleplex visited my blog. The person seemed to be interested in the Review of Bloglines and thus I guess that it may be someone from the Google Reader team.

The reason which makes me believe that it will be someone from GooglePlex is that the referer URL was this URL : http://cabbage.corp.google.com:8006/reader/view/ and that makes me believe that it was someone from GooglePlex.

So, is it a reason to be happy or not? I guess yes as we know that Googlers are working toward making Google Reader a better application :P

Technorati : Google, ReviewSaurus

SeaMonkey is an all-in-one internet application suite. It is a browser, an email client, IRC and it can let you create static webpages too. SeaMonkey is part of Mozilla Foundation and although Mozilla’s main focus is on Firefox & Thunderbird but many volunteer’s are trying to make an all-in-one internet application based on Mozilla’s technology and that’s where SeaMonkey was born. Lets find out how good or bad it is…

PROS of SeaMonkey :

1. All in one application : The biggest feature about SeaMonkey is that it is an all in one internet application suite. It has got a browser, email client, IRC & WYSIWYG editor. So, the good thing is that you don’t have to run around for all these softwares as you can find all this in one application.

2. Based on GECKO : SeaMonkey’s browser is based on GECKO rendering engine (The one used by Firefox) and that means that any webpage, which is made for Firefox will work on SeaMonkey as well and that’s why applications like Gmail or Google reader work perfectly fine on SeaMonkey and it doesn’t have to struggle like Opera has to.

3. Not a memory hog : Seamonkey is not a memory hog and works perfectly well even with less memory. So, any computer which has got less memory doesn’t have to worry about wastage of memory, while running seamonkey.

4. Plugins & Extensions : Seamonkey has got various plugins and extensions and most of the plugins which are available for Firefox are also available for Seamonkey. So, if you are using an excuse that your favorite plugin will not work with seamonkey, then start to think on a better excuse.

5. Various required features : Seamonkey’s browser itself has got lots of features that it can become a bit hard to cover all the features in this single post. It has got inbuilt form manager, password manager & download manager. Chatzilla is the program which is used for IRC. Email client is also fully functional and supports both POP & IMAP. The email client can also detect junk email with the help of junk filters. Composer (i.e. the WYSIWYG editor or the HTML editor) is basic and can’t be compared with other advanced HTML editors but yes it can create very basic pages.

6. Easy to use interface : Even though, it is an all in one application and has got so many features but still the interface of SeaMonkey is simple and quite neat. It easily gives access to all the applications and features and one doesn’t have to worry much about making any changes in the application. The tabbed browser allows you to run various websites in one single window.
